MEET JENN TREPECK

Jenn Trepeck has been described as a “force of nature” in the wellness space, recognized as one of Podcast Magazine’s 40 under 40, nominated for the 2022 International Women’s Podcast Award for Visionary Leadership, and nominated in the 2024 Women in Podcasting Awards as an expert guest and podcasting. She is an Optimal Health Coach, Podcaster, and Business Consultant. After graduating from the University of Michigan Ross School of Business, Jenn founded Better Life Now LLC while working full-time in hedge funds. Stemming from her weight management saga and “kicking her food issues”, Jenn’s mission is to teach the nutrition education we are all supposed to know but no one ever taught us, along with the science behind food, fitness, and health. After over a decade of working with clients, she took her practice from side hustle to full-time self-employment and launched her podcast, Salad With a Side of Fries, in 2019. Grounded in science, yet lighthearted in delivery, Jenn talks about living life while still making ourselves and our health a priority.
